Caricature Express

I finally had a (cellphone) camera with me during
a Fashion Sketch event, and wouldn’t you know….
it wasn’t my best drawing day.

My work is professional enough, tho, that everybody
was thrilled with their pictures. And the woman in
charge of these Bloomingdales events is hoping
that I’ll be available to do it at another one of their stores
next week. So Yay! If our schedules mesh, I’ll get
another chance to do them - I’ll be perfect next time -
I just know it (Lol - and some day I’ll be a perfect person.)

Anyway, here are some of the pictures that I drew
today. They look fine. The drawing just could have
been more fun for me if I was feeling freer:

What happened was that I asked the guests to pose
on the pedestal with the other mannekins. I thought
that would be a good experience for them - which it
was. For them. But not for me. It was only after
the show was over that I realized that it made it
intimidating for me. And I played with the guests -
had them ’strike a pose’. And that made me (and
the drawing) feel controlled.

It was a very successful event.
The guests really enjoyed what my client
was offering them. But I like to do Best. Everything.
For the client, the guests, AND myself. What it is
to be an Artist. Why I do it.
